Museum with a beautiful collection of mine lamps as well as many flags and corporate banners
Redesigned in 2000, this museum embodies a fresco: that of the industrial history of the basin and of those known as the gueules noires. Installed on the remains of the historic mine, this space brings together testimonies, photographs and equipment that reflect the working conditions of the miners. Reconstructions and a scenic effect even allow visitors to relive the "coups de grisou", the gas explosions that plunged many families in the Basin into mourning.
